VISIT THE TANK MUSEUM

Great day out Spent 5 hours looking around this vast museum today. Absolutely loads to see, who knew there were so many different tanks? My Husband really enjoyed it but he was a tank driver when he was in the army. Surprisingly I also enjoyed it, it was very interesting and done very well. Good value too

Amazing and a must see. An amazing experience, so much to see and read. A very educational time seeing how the tank first came about. Makes you fully appreciate the sacrifice so many soldiers made during the wars. Our highlight was seeing a number of Challenger 2 tanks drive down the road behind us from a viewing area. Simply breathtaking.

Fantastic day out! I last visited about 20 years ago and it enjoyed the visit. This time - WOW! What a tremendous change. The musuem is now even larger and the way the exhibts are arraned is really good. The WW1 walk through experience is wonderfull, the talks informative and the staff super helpful. Thanks for a great day.

Very impressed and we will definitely be back We visited here with our 8 year old. We're not really tank nuts, though can't deny the appeal of some big boys toys!

Despite that, and despite arriving at 0945 (early opening for half term), we found ourselves at the museum right until closing time.

Firstly, the collection is just simply massive with a huge variety of tanks and similar armed vehicles and trucks. Secondly, the special exhibitions were excellent.

We also got a ride on their "tank" (really a tracked truck fitted with passenger seats) which was great fun, and also a sneaky peak at their conservation centre which was very interesting to see.

There were lots of little things to do and play with on the way round, which were appreciated by my child and it was nice to see a museum so well maintained.

Also a shout out to the very reasonable food prices and decent restaurant - unusual nowadays, and a welcome change

Great day our What a interesting place to visit. In particular I was interested in how and why tanks were introduced in the first world war, and the impact it would have for the years to come. Introducing us to real soldiers, and telling us their stories made it more poignant
Plenty of staff around to help
We quickly grabbed a hot sausage roll and coffee, perfect and not expensive
Would we go back? YES

Tons of Armour!! The Tank Museum is a must if you are visiting the area!

The museum has plenty of parking, easy to find and is very reasonably priced, considering this is a full day trip. The place is huge with lots of amazing exhibits and tons of information to take in.
I especially liked the new Ukraine section, which gives a good insight into how things all kicked off over there.

There are also two nice little cafes inside, serving hot food and cakes.

Overall, a very good day out.

Tiger Day - Wow What a fantastic day out Tiger Day is with plenty going on in the arena. The Tank Museum run this event twice a year (Spring & Autumn) & bring into the outside arena the last remaining working Tiger Tank in the world This year they undertook a reenactment of the capture of Tiger 131 by the Sherwood Foresters with a little assistance from the Royal Tank Regiment (RTR). They had the British Matilda as well as a Mk III Churchill in the arena with the German Tiger. A little later the superstar which is the Sherman from the film “Fury” also made an appearance (Brad Pitt not included) So you get all this entertainment & the museum itself is open & included in the entrance fee even managed to buy ourselves some models for when we eventually get home. As a side note if you’re looking for somewhere to pitch up nearby I can thoroughly recommend Whitemead Caravan Park which is within walking distance of the Tank Museum.

Fantastic experience The Tank Museum in Boninghton is the best
museum I've ever been to, it has a huge collection of tanks I highly recommend it

So much to see and learn and really interesting - exceeded expectations and would highly recommend. Do some research in advance as there is so much more to this museum than you might expect. Check out when the talks take place as they are excellent.
